[Troyboy78]

Northwest area ,
Thanks in advance

That's shite mate, we were getting £3.00 or more for skimming in the early 1990's.

Mate that is shocking. I did a brief stint on site in 2010 and was getting £5.50 a metre and that was considered average.

Modern day slavery

Unfortunately I know lads on site who’d snap your hand off for £4m2
I think the average is £3.50-£3.75 round our end

Yup ridiculous rates —-you need to hit some decent numbers every day “

Wakey wakey

These building site rates of pay are hopeless. Less 20% tax. Less running costs, If you took home 1k per week that is not enough to purchase a home. What is the point in building a house for someone and you can not afford to purchase a house yourself?

The lads are using fcukin sponges and spats to get the m2 in to make decent money, 3 sets a day, less CITB 5% less retention 2.5%
Less tax 20% less running costs of van. It’s a sad situation

It is sad but very true what you've said . Most of these lunatics on here have never been on site so they don't understand. I've made rearly good ££ years ago . Now I just make wages and fuk off home . But I'm 51 and couldn't give a fuk about the trade no more . That's why I mainly tack n dab it's easier and better ££

I was expecting rates to go up after Brexit...what is keeping them suppressed?

 

[Salfordspread]

There's no new builds going g up that's what it is . Plus 90 % of new build apartments are now airless sprayed in Manchester

 

[Stewie03]

I’m glad I got away from site work in the end was just a rat race everyday with the sqm you put on I wish I one coated now back in the day but it wasn’t a thing back then you would’ve got kicked of site,

People like Algeeman who crash many hundreds of metres on every week.
Their metreage becomes the benchmark of what can be done. No matter that the work isn't carried out to spec.

Ah you've rumbled me mate.
I'll come clean.
I'm currently trying to breed from @Casper and @JessThePlasterer , hoping to create the ultimate t**t. Combined they should produce a new species of super T***s, even more twatty than @Dollar or that holy tape c**t.
Once I have created my clone army of super T***s I'm going to drop them into China and America to restore world peace.

Drop them both off in Israel Jess can take a sack of Maris pipers and a spud gun, and Casper can just take his iPhone 15 pro max,where he can create a diversion showing pictures of his ford transit sport van and dodgy beading then Jess advances on The enemy all out assault with the spud gun taking down the islamists and Hamas and rightfully Israel take Palestine

@ChrispyUK @Stevieo this is how I always imagined John

 

[spread95]

Chatting to a sparks today that did some work on my house a while back.
He's just put his rate up to £85 an hour or £400 a day.
Spreads have always been their own worst enemy when it comes to rates

There’s a realistic rate for everyone. Most plasterers couldn’t charge the same along with most sparks

There's the problem, if you don't believe your worth it how are you going to convince your customer.
